The decision comes as several companies that have profited off of racial stereotypes are dropping their names, amid a nation-wide discussion of racism prompted by the Black Lives Matter movement, including the band Lady Antebellum and a Santa Barbara restaurant named Sambo’s.
By your own metric, if you’re not condemning the racism from the Jewish hate groups then you are supporting it.
Exactly. These detractors aren’t acting in good faith. You can see it right away in a few ways: 1) Most obviously, they still ain’t going after the privileged white ladies for spotlighting Farrakhan. And 2) pretending that anything intersectional isn’t going to have people, with often conflicting views on other topics…
Sure, but that world requires significant structural and cultural change that won’t occur unless we create programs that treat people justly. If all we did was treat applicants “equally” then tons of POC college applicants would be/are overlooked because regardless of their intellect or desire to learn, they go to…
NEVER FORGET
I get it, but as competitive as UC is these days, I think a carve out is totally reasonable. My son is 19. When he was applying to UC schools, he had a 4.0+ GPA, a good SAT and was a four sport athlete. And was considered poor because I was on disability. Basically, a perfect candidate. Still didn’t get in to any…
Perhaps he resents the broad embrace of their suffering and loss, as well as the need to memorialize the Holocaust In education and public life; which hasn’t happened to the black community and slavery. Two horrible periods of time, crimes against humanity against an entire religion and race. The US still has our…
The clip I have seen repeated shared Is how he compares the past history of slavery vs the Holocaust. He says that Americans just want to forget and move on, and ask why can’t black people do the same. Then he discusses a key point from Jewish people about the Holocaust, ‘never forget’ and how Its unilaterally…
It would be nice to see the actual clip this story is all about. Or at least a transcript. You know, like journalism.
While the US continues to prop up Israel, the plight of the Palestians are also on you. She was very right to both go and to witness to you. That atrocities also happen at home shouldn’t detract from that.
THIS. This whole comment section is depressing as hell.
They sure did.
You missed the part where I said the “NOI is more than just Farrakhan...”
“Just straight up apologize for supporting Farrakhan and promise to never have anything to do with him and his organization ever again.”
Same as you can say that Bill Clinton did a lot to advance Women’s Rights, and he is a sexual predator that should be held accountable.
It is hardly unprecedented for a group that espouses hateful ideologies to offer needed social services to marginal or underserved groups. It’s no conflict to acknowledge the social-service aspect while deploring the ideology. See not just the Nation of Islam, but also Hamas, the IRA, and even ISIS.
I feel like this is so much bullshit, honestly. Mallory has made it perfectly clear that she supports Farrakhan’s help for people in her community but not his offensive views. I think she could be clearer about denouncing the potential his homophobia, anti-Semitism, etc., hold for causing harm, but I also think any…
I admit that when the first round of this Farrakhan/Women’s March criticism took over my newsfeed earlier this year, I read some shallow coverage of it and then backed away because I did not have it in me at that moment in time to really examine what was going on. I never got around to returning to it so I very much…
